“It would be a mistake to view Bush as an aberration in modern political history. There are far more parallels between Bush and Clinton than either Democrats or Rebublicans would like to admit. And most of Clinton’s abuses followed precedents set by Bush Sr., Nixon, Johnson, and earlier presidents. Bush is more a symptom of the decay of American democracy than a first causes.”

“A democractic government that respects no limits on its own power is a ticking time bomb, waiting to destroy the rights it was created to protect. The more people who believe democracy is failsafe, the more likely it will fail. Attention Deficit Democracy produces the attitudes, ignorance, and arrogance that pave the way to pollitical collapse.”

I started this book tonight, and it’s already so good, but kind of scary. He starts out by stating the point of the book in an introduction. He really slams Bush a ton in the beginning, and then he starts to show parallels between Bush and Clinton, and as you can see nearly all modern presidents. He’s talked about how both Bush and Clinton have bombed places without the permission of Congress in the name of freedom and democracy.

He also talked about how long it has been since we’ve had a president who ran on a platform based on the Constitution. This book is very informative and I recommend it to every one who does not realize the importance of our Republic. We must realize its deterioration in order to stop it. It’s strange that all of the mainstream media ignores the only ‘08 candidate that advocates the Constitution. Oh, the irony of the United States.

Attention Deficit Democracy by James Bovard.

Nick and I are at my mom’s house for a few days… and it’s really late… so we decided to be YouTubotatoes and we were curious as to if there were any anti-Ron Paul videos on the internet… so we watched this guy’s reasoning why he doesn’t like Ron Paul… and then watched a video of this dude’s reply that totally PWNED him. The first one is very vulgar… and the second has no cussing until the end… but after watching the first… it is quite appropriate. Enjoy…

After that I saw “Ron Paul Interview” …but the room that this guy was in looked a little strange. so we investigated. Ron Paul ACTUALLY went to a college dorm room to be interviewed by this college student… and it was a very impressive interview. If you’re curious about his platform, you should definitely check it out.

I apologize for all of this political activism lately on the web site. It’s summer… I’m bored… there’s no school, so politics is kind of a last result. I have to be studying into SOMETHING. So, yeah… many people get annoyed with it and I’m sorry, but don’t look at all of this as shove down your throat… but more of just an offer out on the table if you’re interested. I’d appreciate it if you gave him a chance, though.

If you’re not up to watching the full 30-ish minute interview…

…the only part that I really feel you should watch is on the fourth video… after he’s done talking about his platform… it’s at about 2 minutes left in the video… when he talks about his feelings towards the idea of becoming president, and how and why he got into congress in the first place.

My mom got this in an e-mail… check it out!

Read to the end and think about it for a minute!

Subject: Tax to the max

What Happened?
At first I thought this was funny…then I realized the awful truth of it.
Be sure to read all the way to the end!

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he’s fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries, then
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass

Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won’t be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers,
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He’s good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he’s laid.

Put these words
upon his tomb,
“Taxes drove me
to my doom…”

When he’s gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

COMMENTS:Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago,
and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class
in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What happened?
And I still have to “press 1″ for English
I hope this goes around world 10 times
